Torino FC v Juventus - Serie A
Messi's national heir

Nicknamed 'La Joya' (The Jewel), this diminutive Argentinean is on his way to become one of the finest players of the game. He has become a really important player for the Juventus side ever since he joined them from Palermo in 2015.

Considered by many Argentines as the heir to Lionel Messi, he has been playing out of his skin this season with few hat-tricks to his name. He has 17 goals to his name already, which is quite good by his standards judging by the fact that he has to compete with seasoned strikers like Gonzalo Higuain and Mario Mandzukic for a place in the eleven.

A lethal left-foot and speed is what makes him such a threat to the opponents. He is one of the youngest players on this list, merely 24 and a lot lies ahead of him. Maybe the Ballon d'Or too.
